O'Reilly always considered those who were born and raised in the US and believed in American values to be Far Right. This simply confirms what we have long suspected.
I had a few reservations about O'Reilly, still do. But, he represents and is a registered independent. Some of you on this site are doing exactly what he wants us not to do, spin it. We conservatives are logical, rational and ethical people = we are sensible enough to realize that its important in a democracy to have differing viewpoints. I agree that O'Reilly is more left of center than right, but I do trust him to not spin his interviews. I was impressed with his boycotts of France and Canada, that's why I believe he is a true independent and his views are his as ours are ours. We are big enough to listen to opposing viewpoints to either confirm our beliefs or give our rivals the benefit of a doubt. Unfortunately our rivals are so extreme that we are skeptical of anyone appearing to be with them. I don't mind liberals being honest with themselves but when they are blind idealogues, I get scared. I also know that we have to be careful not to blind either - Republicans need to wear the white hats of understanding - we can't be so easy to be against anyone who is not 100% with us. Remember - we have the big tent. O'Reilly has a big head for his ratings on Fox, so what. He is getting the President on prime time for three nights next week, John Kerry will not and O'Reilly will not let Kerry live that down. He just signed a 5 year contract with Fox, but I do agree his timeslot should be switched with Hannity. But being number 1 has perks. Let's just be glad that his ratings makes the MSM look bad. Justice enough for me!
